Research Interests

The primary focus of the AuCoin laboratory is to develop diagnostics and therapeutics for infectious diseases. Current funding includes grants and contracts through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and multiple Department of Defense Agencies. All these projects rely on the identification of secreted or circulating microbial antigens that can be targeted for diagnosis of disease. The AuCoin laboratory has developed a novel platform technology termed "In vivo Microbial Antigen Discovery" or InMAD to identify such secreted antigens. InMAD is currently being utilized to identify candidate diagnostic antigens secreted during infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis), Aspergillus fumigatus (invasive aspergillosis) and Francisella tularensis (tularemia). Other recent projects include development of a rapid diagnostic test for Ebola virus in collaboration with a private sector partner.

Dr. AuCoin received a B.S. from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (1993) followed by a M.S. (1999) and Ph.D. in Cell and w88 sports betting app Biology from the University of Nevada, Reno (2002). Dr. AuCoin completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University (2005). He lectures on medical microbiology to School of Medicine medical students and recently assisted in the creation of a new undergraduate major, Microbiology and Immunology (MI), through the College of Science at the University of Nevada, Reno.
